Based on Dr. Seuss’ 1954 children’s book of the same name, the story follows Horton (voiced by Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey), a sweet-natured and comic elephant who discovers a dust speck that is actually the tiny world of Whoville. He befriends the town’s Mayor (voiced by Oscar nominee Steve Carell) and tries to convince his jungle community about the existence of his newfound world and friends, however, the Head of the Jungle of Nool, the ill-tempered Kangaroo (voiced by Golden Globe winner Carol Burnett) has plans to get rid of the dust speck.
Fun fact; the flick was shipped to some theatres under the codename “88 Keys”.
